Common questions
Can I invoice for drain surveys and unblocking separately?
Yes. Add separate line items for survey, jetting, and any repairs: give your customer a clear, professional breakdown.
How do I track CCTV drain camera and jetting equipment costs?
Log equipment purchases, maintenance, and fuel as business expenses. TradeTally tracks them for your tax return.
Does TradeTally handle out-of-hours drainage callout invoicing?
Add out-of-hours surcharge as a line item. Create and send the invoice from your phone before leaving the job.
